Red Ogo Gracilaria Live Macroalgae

The Red Ogo (Gracilaria Parvispora) plant is an exceptionally beautiful macroalgae. Between bright red and burgundy in hue and graced with short bushy fronds, it adds a splash of color and texture to any refugium or saltwater aquarium. Red Ogo Gracilaria is a fast growing and hardy macroalgae when kept under proper conditions. It is also great for nutrient export in saltwater aquarium systems. Additionally, it is prized by many herbivorous fish keepers (especially tangs) as a healthy live seaweed food. Pro Tip: Red Ogo Gracilaria can be grown out in the refugium and new growth can be trimmed and fed to herbivorous fish as a tasty treat.

Rated 5 out of 5

Moe (verified owner)–July 23, 2018

In my system, this stuff is far outpacing my Chaetomorpha.
I got a golf ball sized piece when I was cycling my tank. I set it up in a refugium with a Red + Blue LED on reverse light cycle.
Phosphates dropped from 0.50 to 0 in the span of 11 days! In the past month I have harvested roughly two softball’s worth of Red Orgo and still have a healthy chunk growing in the refugium.

My Tangs LOVE it way more than dried seaweed. I occasionally grab a piece from the refugium and put it on a clip. It doesn’t last long!

Love but we got the tennis ball size and its beautiful but huge. My tang has started to nip at it already she loves it. Thanks a bunch.

Three Steps To Reduce Aquarium Food Waste

Keeping a saltwater aquarium clean is no easy task. Regardless of filtration methods or water change routines, this is especially difficult when the tank is jam-packed full of hungry corals and fish. In short, it’s very hard to not overfeed. Yes, we hear it all the time: If you’ve got algae, cloudy water, or detritus …

In today’s trying times, we understand that it can be difficult to have the peace and serenity that saltwater aquariums bring when there is crisis and craziness around what seems to be every corner. We see our nation’s heroes continuously going above and beyond for everyone, every day, and we could not be more thankful. …

When purchasing live foods for your tank, many people simply take the shop employee’s advice when handed a jar of unidentified copepods for their reef tank. Most do not research into the different species of copepods, we just understand that they are a major element of our clean up crews and that our fish love …
